The ILGA-Europe's 2025 Rainbow Map reveals sharp disparities in LGBTQ+ rights across Europe, highlighting significant declines in several countries, including the UK, which dropped in ranking due to a Supreme Court decision impacting trans rights. Russia remains at the bottom of the map, indicating severe repression. The report underscores the necessity of defending LGBTQ+ rights against rising authoritarianism that threatens to erode decades of progress in human rights. The situation in places like Georgia, marked by violence and anti-LGBT laws, exemplifies the urgency for advocacy and protection.
The Rainbow Map 2025 offers a stark snapshot of where Europe stands on LGBTI human rights, and highlights the pressing need to defend and advance these rights in the context of acute democratic erosion.
If left unchallenged, these tactics risk spreading further across Europe, undermining a human rights framework that has taken decades to build.
